Insights · field notes
No thought leadership. Just things we wish we'd known earlier.
How we simplified a multi-tenant SaaS control plane, eliminated connection leaks, and reduced our active infrastructure footprint by relying on native PostgreSQL event notifications.
A guide to configuring redis clusters for distributed setups, setting up sentinel monitoring, and choosing eviction rules.
An engineering guide to identifying N+1 query patterns, debugging Prisma relation loads, and setting up OpenTelemetry database tracing.
A developer guide on selecting database configurations, container runners, and hosting setups to support early traction for under $100/month.
A technical and regulatory guide on hosting open-weight models locally. Learn how to secure private EC2 instances, orchestrate inference engines with vLLM, and satisfy HIPAA data privacy requirements.
An exhaustive architectural blueprint for designing reliable multi-agent systems. Learn how to implement loop detection, token budgets, state machine validation, and human-in-the-loop triggers to build resilient autonomous workers.
An exhaustive case study on optimizing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) performance. Learn how we used semantic sentence-similarity chunking, concurrent BM25/Vector retrieval, and Cross-Encoder reranking to build a high-performance search pipeline.
Server slow? Before upgrading your hosting, use this 12-point website speed checklist to find and fix the true performance bottlenecks in your code.
An in-depth guide on handling multi-terabyte PostgreSQL databases using horizontal table partitioning, connection pool optimization, and B-Tree indexing rules.
An in-depth performance audit comparing Node.js scaling strategies, cluster load balancing, and CPU-intensive worker threads.
PrimeByteLabs is a product engineering studio. We build high-performance backends, AI integrations, and scalable infrastructure for startups and growth-stage companies.
These are the field notes from that work — things we learned the hard way so you don't have to.
